I cannot confirm that, but I do know I never see a plain A7 on the shelves or for sale online anymore, so that could be the case. I really like that A7 Big Game rifle but it's still got the plastic Tikka trigger guard and bottom metal/bottom plastic, shroud, etc, and that's what's really made it hard for me to pull the trigger on one to the tune of $1300 and personally I don't care to buy a FinnLite knowing that it has a cheap stock on it. Kind of an expensive catch 22! My temporary option has been to buy another SS Tikka T3 in 30-06 and mull my decision for a while. I was ready to jump on a Forbes but there's some things I don't like on it too and the starting point is the same price!
